Description
1. Environment
- Device: [Pixel 4a 5G]
- OS: [Android 13]
- APP: [0.9.8]
2. Describe the bug
In the ReadYou Account Settings page, there is a setting for "Keep Archived Articles". This toggle allows for the app to discard articles that were read before some user-defined threshold (the default is 30 days).
This setting works, but it's easy to misunderstand its purpose as "deleting read articles PUBLISHED before the user-defined threshold". This is not the case, and could be explained better through localizations.

Research direction
